Unconventional Displays

Mr_Man

As a tribute to the art of the watchmaker I thought it might be interesting to show some of the many ways they have developed to show the time. Here is my contribution. The watch on the left is a Xeric Solscope, the middle is a Meistersinger Pangea and the left is a Xeric Vendetta.

What's yours?

My favorite of the Mr. Jones watches

These are novel for sure, but a watch works best when you can see the time in a split second glance.

I reviewed a Tokyoflash Kisai Vortex a few years ago.

Lovely looking, utterly baffling :)

You mean that you use your watch for telling the time?! I thought it was just for a bit'a bling

I have one of these which I have yet to wear. It needs a new strap, which is no excuse really.

Not as unconventional but I like them, the mystery dial. Clear disks instead of conventional hands. The zodiac astrographic is my favorite.

Seven Friday have always caught my eye as quite striking and some really nice pieces in their range IMO. That said, I dunno if I'd ever actually wear one regularly.

I kinda like some of the wandering hour watches, but they're usually too expensive for what's a bit of a novelty. And I'm not even entirely sure what time this watch is displaying:

Lovely watch but just not for me, it's up for sale if anyone is interested

I always liked the Mr Roboto R1 by Azimuth. Im not brave enough to spend my money on one though.

That is very Terry Pratchett 🤣

Not quite an unconventional display, but definitely an unconventional presentation...

Eone Bradley, for the blind or hipsters. A rhonda movement has neodymium magnets at tips of the hand, it moves the captive ball bearing around the race.

Interesting take on the dive watch here, the emphasis on the dive important minute hand. The hour indicator is a rotating ring, the seconds indicator is the small perforated disk in the centre, it really just indicates the movement is running. In discussion with TF a while back I suggested a dive watch didn't need a second hand, just a blinking dot or some heartbeat type indication.

The movement is a Sellita SW200.

The indicated time above is 1:51
